China’s new term, tuhao, may be in next year’s Oxford English Dictionary. The word caught the attention of the dictionary's editing team after BBC’s recent program on influential Chinese words. “If its influence continues, it is very likely to appear on our updated list of words,” said Julie Kleeman, project manager with the editing team.
In Chinese tu means uncouth (笨拙的) and hao means rich. It has traditionally been referred to rich people who throw their weight around in China’s countryside. The word became more popular in September with the launch of Apple’s new gold-colored iPhone, which is loved by China’s rich people. The color became known as “tuhao gold.” The word is now also used by the online community to refer to people who have the cash but lack the class to go with it. Kleeman also mentioned two other Chinese words — dama and hukou — which may also make it into the dictionary.
People can have an intuitive (直观的) grasp of the meanings if they see pinyin, Kleeman said, adding that people avoid using an English word to keep the original meaning.
“We have nearly 120 Chinese-linked words now in Oxford English Dictionary,” she said. Some of them are: Guanxi, which means “connection”; Taikonaut, a mix of taikong, meaning outer space, and astronaut.
The new words will be first uploaded on the official website before the dictionaries arrive. The online version is also renewed every three months. “It at least broke our old rules. It used to take 10 years to include a new word but now we keep the pace with the time,” according to a statement from ex-chief-editor John Simpson.
1.Which of the following statements is true according to the text?
A. Dama and hukou have made it into Oxford English dictionary.
B. Some influential Chinese words appeared on one of BBC’s recent programs.
C. tuhao refers to people who have both the cash and the class.
D. John Simpson thinks that it is not good to break old rules.
2.What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Give orders to others. B. Get ready to help others.
C. Go on a diet. D. Put on weight.
3.Tuhao becomes more popular in September partly because ______.
A. it is very likely to appear in Oxford English Dictionary
B. it is often used by the online community
C. people use Chinese pinyin to keep the original meaning
D. Apple launched a new gold-colored iPhone
4.The main idea of the text is that ______.
A. tuhao may end up in Oxford English Dictionary
B. sometimes pinyin makes Chinese words better understood
C. tuhao has a new meaning at the present time
D. Oxford English Dictionary Includes new words faster than before

China’s new popular word, “tuhao”, may be taken in next year’s Oxford English dictionary. The word caught the attention of the dictionary’s editing team after BBC’s recent program on influential Chinese words.
“If its influence continues, it is very likely to appear on our updated list of words,” said Julie Kleeman, project manager with the editing team. Kleeman told the Beijing Youth Daily that “tuhao” has some similarities with the English word “bling”, which refers to expensive, ostentatious (阔绰的) clothing or jewelry. Both the two words have existed for long but later on took a new meaning.
In Chinese, “tu” means rude and “hao” means rich. It has traditionally been referred to rich people who throw their weight around in China’s rural areas. In recent years, people in the ACG (anime, comic and game) circle borrowed the term to describe those who spend money in an unreasonable manner.
The word gained acceptance in September with the launch (投放) of Apple’s new gold-colored iPhone, an item loved by China’s nouveau riche (暴发户). The color became known as “tuhao gold”.The word is now often used by the online community to refer to people who have the cash but lack the class to go with it.
Kleeman also mentioned another Chinese word “dama” which may also be taken in the dictionary.
“Dama”, meaning middle-aged women, was first used in the Western media by the Wall Street Journal in May when thousands of Chinese women were buying up record number of gold. They were the driving force in the global gold market between April and June when the gold prices had dropped. “People can have an intuitive (直觉的)grasp of the meanings if they see pinyin”, Kleeman said adding that people avoided using an English word to keep the original meaning. The new words will be first uploaded on the official website before the dictionaries arrive. The online version is also renewed every three months.
1.Why is the word “tuhao” likely to be taken in Oxford English Dictionary?

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。续写词数为150字左右。
The spot of red was what first caught Randy Heiss’s attention on December 16, 2018. He was hiking the remote land behind his farm in a small town near the U.S.-Mexico border, and there lying on the grass was a balloon. He walked toward it with his dog, thinking he should pick it up and throw it away.
That’s when he noticed the balloon’s string was attached to a piece of paper. “Dayami,” it read on one side, in a child’s writing. Heiss flipped the paper over. On the back he saw a numbered list, all in Spanish. His Spanish wasn’t very good, but he could see it was a Christmas list!
Heiss was charmed. He suspected that a child had tried to send Santa Claus a Christmas wish list by balloon, something he used to do himself when he was a kid. Nobody had ever returned the letters Heiss had sent, but he wondered whether he could find the girl who had sent this one.
It would be difficult, but Heiss had a few clues. About 20 miles to the southwest, just across the border, was the city of Nogales, Mexico, with a population of about a quarter million. Based on the wind direction, he was almost sure that was where it came from. Heiss brought the note home to his wife, who is fluent in Spanish and helped him translate the list. They determined that Dayami, probably a girl, had asked for a doll, a dollhouse, doll clothes and art supplies.
Heiss then posted his search about finding Dayami on Facebook, attaching photos, hoping some of his friends in Nogales might know the girl’s family. A few days passed with no results; Heiss worried that time was running out before Christmas. On December 19, 2018, he decided to send a private Facebook message to Radio Xeny, an AM radio station based in Nogales. To his surprise, someone from the station called him back right away and promised him to post his search on the station’s Facebook page immediately.
Paragraph 1:
The next morning, Heiss awoke to a message from Radio Xeny.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Dayami’s eyes were wide open with wonder.

This year the selfie earned its place as the Oxford English Dictionary’s 2013 Word Of The Year.It has taken over our culture-and our smartphones.The rise of the selfie has become universal-between presidents,celebrities(名人)and citizens alike-and the trend is only continuing to grow.
A recent survey conducted by the Pew Internet&American Life Project found that 54 percent of Internet have posted original photos online.And of those hundreds of millions of photos, many are of selfie photos.
For example,currently there are nearly 62 million posted selfie
photos on Instagram,the social media tool that has significantly contributed to the personal photo’s popularity.That figure,which continues to rise every day, does not even begin to include the selfies shared on Facebook and Twitter.
What makes the selfie so attractive-and why do we feel it a must to take one? According to Dr.Pamela Rutledge,psychologist and director of the Media Psychology Research Center,the desire to take,post and get“likes” on selfies goes back to a biological behavior of all humans.
“ I think it influences our sense of social connection in the same way as it does when you go
to a party and people say‘Oh I love your dress,’” Rutledge told The Huffington Post.“Biological,social recognition is a real need and there is even an area of the brain that contributes to social activity.”
There is a way to adapt to the growing selfie culture.Whether you’re a selfie novice or an advanced poster,there are always things to be mindful of when you’re posting,Rutledge advises.
She offered two main principles to follow when it comes to posting on social media:
1.The Grandmother Rule
“Don't post anything online,whether text or visual,that you don't want grandmother or future
employer to see,” Rutledge said.“Selfies especially.”
2.The Elevator Rule
“You wouldn’t say something in an elevator that you or no one else wants to hear—the whole
world of social media is an elevator,” Rutledge said.“Be aware of the breadth of platform.It's easy to think you’re sharing a photo with a few people,but Instagram is public and people can come across things.”
1.What's the main idea of the first paragraph?
A.The selfie is taking the lead.
B.Many people are fond of smartphones.
C.The selfie will take over everything.
D.The selfie is an important new word.
2.According to the passage,people like“selfie”so much,because they___________.
A.need to be acknowledged in social life
B.want to show off their new dresses
C.desire to share good things
D.mean to amuse the public
3.The underlined word“novice”in Paragraph 6 probably means“___________”.
A.publisher B.greenhand C.novelist D.celebrity
4.When it comes to posting on social media,Rutledge advises people to___________.
A.share photos only on Instagram
B.talk about their photos in an elevator
C.be cautious in posting things online
D.follow rules set by their grandmothers
